VERA Verification

VERA is a multinational collaboration between Denmark, The Netherlands and Flanders for testing and verifying environmental technologies within the agricultural sector. The purpose of VERA is to enhance a well-functioning international market for environmental technologies to help solve the environmental challenges of agricultural production.

The framework for test and verification is based on test protocols that are developed, or in the process of being developed. Technologies that have been tested according to one of the VERA test protocols can obtain a VERA Verification Statement.A VERA Verification Statement secures documentation for the environmental efficiency and operational stability of a technology and is an important step when introducing a technology to the market.

Technology Manufacturers

With a VERA Verification Statement, manufacturers of environmental agro technology receive an international acceptance of the environmental efficiency and operational stability of their technology.

The VERA Verification Statement gives you a unique marketing tool: a verification you can visualize with a VERA logo, which ensures credibility for the environmental efficiency and operational stability of environmental technologies for agricultural production. Additionally, you will receive international acceptance of the technology and gain access to the international market of environmental technologies for agricultural production.

Authorities

The VERA system is established as a help for attainment of the general BAT demands on European livestock productions.

VERA is implemented differently in the participating countries, and is currently not yet completely in place within the involved authorities.

Farmers

The VERA system offers farmers a selection of technologies with documented environmental efficiency and operational stability. The purpose of the VERA system is to develop a well-functioning market for environmental agro technologies and to help solve the environmental challenges of agricultural production.

It can be difficult for a single farmer to assess whether a specific technology meets the environmental efficiency indicated by the manufacturer and whether the technology works in practice. The VERA system addresses these uncertainties.
